Which entitlement is associated specifically with Temporary Duty (TDY) travel?

• A. Per diem and travel reimbursements
• B. Relocation allowances
• C. Shipment of household goods
• D. BAH

Answer: (A)

Temporary Duty travel involves a short-term assignment away from your permanent duty station, so the entitlements focus on covering everyday costs you incur during that period. Per diem provides funds for lodging, meals, and incidental expenses, based on the location and the length of TDY. Travel reimbursements cover the actual costs of getting to and from the TDY site and other approved travel expenses, like transportation and related fees. Together, these allowances address the typical, day-to-day costs of a temporary assignment.

Relocation allowances and shipment of household goods are intended for moving to a new permanent duty station, not for short-term TDY. Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) is a housing stipend tied to a permanent duty location or the member’s housing situation, not for temporary travel.
